ai-workflow-harness: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

ai-workflow-harness AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from kyungseo/ai-workflow-harness. It costs 1,128 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Project entry instructions for an AI workflow harness, a codebase that coordinates coding agents and their working rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when working in the repository to choose the right Codex skill, follow the project’s branch flow, and check current status and next actions.
Why use it?
They tell the agent which behavior, workflow, status, and skill-routing documents to read before starting work.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is kyungseo/ai-workflow-harness's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on ai-workflow-harness itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything ai-workflow-harness configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ai-workflow-harness AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 63 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md

Codex entry point for this repository. Keep this file thin. Global behavior principles live in docs/BEHAVIOR-PRINCIPLES.md. Shared operating rules live in docs/AGENT-WORKFLOW.md.

Entry Contract

MUST:

  • Treat this file and CLAUDE.md as equal tool-specific entry points. Supported tools are Claude Code / Codex / Antigravity (Gemini-based) / Cursor.
  • Read and follow docs/BEHAVIOR-PRINCIPLES.md at session start for global behavioral principles that apply to all tasks.
  • Read and follow docs/AGENT-WORKFLOW.md at session start for common workflow, context routing, status rules, and validation defaults.
  • Read docs/STATUS.md current sections before choosing or continuing work.
  • Do not check docs/BOOTSTRAP.md just because it exists; use it only when docs/STATUS.md Next Actions explicitly points to scaffold bootstrap/onboarding work.
  • Treat .claude/commands/*.md as Claude Code command definitions, not as executable Codex commands. Do not read them at session start or follow them directly; run workflows through the Codex skill adapters per Codex Skill Routing below.
  • Treat .claude/rules/*.md as project-local rule references. Do not load them at session start; when editing files whose paths match a rule's paths frontmatter, read only the matching rule files and apply their guidance manually.
  • Follow docs/AGENT-WORKFLOW.md Approval Matrix before execution, scope expansion, state changes, and every commit.
  • On failure: follow docs/HARNESS-PROTOCOL.md Failure And Recovery.

NEVER:

  • Duplicate shared rules here.
  • Bypass docs/STATUS.md or the Approval Matrix.

Codex Skill Routing

When a workflow command is invoked or its intent is matched, load .agents/skills/workflow-{name}/SKILL.md and follow the procedure. Skill name maps directly to command name (e.g., /session-startworkflow-session-start). Each skill adapter must load the matching canonical procedure in skills/workflow/{name}.md as Step 0.

Available workflow skills are the directories under .agents/skills/.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
